It will be more than 5 because 4/3 is greater than 1.

To predict if 5 * 4/3 is less or more than 5, you need to look at the fraction. 3/3 = 1. 4/3 = 1 and 1/3. So, when predicting, you know that you're multiplying 5 by 1 (meaning it will be greater than or equal to 5). To find the exact value, you multiply 5 * 4/3. 5 * 4/3 = 20/3 or 6.666667.

Hope this helps!! Let me know if you need more assistance! Message me or comment under this post.
